What You Change, Changes You approaches art making as a collaborative and social practice. The exhibition brings together Praxis, a collective of eleven women artists formed in 2019 whose resistance to singular medium, style, or category is itself a position. Spanning fiber, ceramics, performance, collage, and beyond, they join a long lineage of women who have challenged the formal frameworks that have both defined and limited the canon.
The artists in this exhibition restore through mending, reclaim through melting down and reshaping, and rebelliously preserve histories that have always existed at the margins. The meaning-rich processes and storied materials each engage with and contribute to the ethos of the artist as both record keeper and context shifter.
By working with their families, partners, and communities, the larger ecosystem of each comes together and is changed by their experiences, cumulatively resulting in an ever-evolving process of regeneration and change.
